Plant parasitic nematodes have been recognized since World War 2 in the developed world as being a major constraint to crop production. This awareness did not follow- simultaneously in developing countries as there were very few trained malologists to recognize problems which did exist and to take steps to control them.
There have been several attempts aimed at improving knowledge of nematodes in developing countries. Notable among these has been the International Meloidogyne Project based at North Carolina State University. The project was entitled "Research on Integrated Crop Protection Systems with Emphasis on the Root Knot Nematodes (Meloidogyne spp.) Affecting Economic Food Crops in Developing Nations”.
The Caribbean Symposium on Nematodes of Tropical Crops field in April 1968 recommended that all Governments and Inter-Government Agencies concerned with the Caribbean and other tropical region:
1) Encourage the establishment of training courses or workshops in national or regional centrer.
2) Develop and intensify the extension or advisory services so as to improve the control of plant nematodes.
3) Place increasing emphasis on the solution ol the more practical and urgent problems which are caused by plant nematodes.
4) Establish or improve national and regional quarantine services to prevent the introduction and further spread of nematodes which present special threats to food and other economic crops (Peachey, 1969).
The need has arisen to make comprehensive information available to scientists in pasture research, and particularly to those with limited access to literature and/or information services.
This catalogue and bibliography aims to collect much of the information which has been published on nematode problems of plant species that are used as forage in developing countries.
